Is there a Reason Rack Extension?

We didn't create a Beatmaker VICE Rack Extension. Please make sure to use the VST format if you're a user of Reason Studios.

Can I use multiple audio outputs?

• Beatmaker VICE features Multi-Outs to make the processing of each drum signal more flexible, DAWs handle multi-out plugins in various ways. To properly use the multi-out functionality in your DAW you might have to create extra AUX tracks and/or use the dedicated multi-out version of Beatmaker VICE.
• Sending an Instrument through its individual out will remove it from the master processing of Beatmaker VICE, so please be aware, that Mix-Preset, Reverb, Saturate, Maximize, and of course Master Volume will not affect Kits routed to their individual outs.

• When Latch is enabled and playing a note the playing note is not highlighted

  • Sometimes the selected kit won't get saved.
  • Single Drum Selection is not being saved (make sure to save a preset with your customized drum selections to work around this)
  • Dragging and Dropping a phrase in certain versions of Pro Tools can result in the channel’s left stereo panning to be set to the center
